Sorry, if some of my questions are rather sophmoric, but I still don't
have a great feeling for exactly what the direction the Base application
is taking.
MAYBE I was asking for it...a little.
I have been busy reading easy stuff ..The requirments specifications on
the dba project page..and that small Developers Guide I got with the
SDK..and mail archives.
Regarding the open projects, I already read the posting. The User
Administration task has a certain appeal to me..but I will not have much
time to devote between now and Octoboer. After that
perhaps..*laughing*..how is that for non-committal.

Hi Andrew,
Are there currently any plans to implement either a JDBC or ODBC driver
for access to the data in an Embedded database file?
No, there aren't. I suppose a JDBC driver wouldn't be too difficult.
The existing HSQLDB JDBC driver supports an abstract API for file
access, and when you implement this API so that it accesses the sub
streams in an .odb file, you're done.
In fact, this is exactly the way how OOo itself handles it, except that
the implementation of the file access API is done in C++.
An ODBC driver would basically require an ODBC driver for HSQLDB, which
sounds like an ambitious task.
Since you're asking for it :), I would like to point you to
http://dba.openoffice.org/miscellaneous/developer_projects.html. While
this page is not completely up-to-date (I have to find some time to
refresh it), the most interesting part there, which has been asked for
relatively often, is "Embed SQLite into OOo database files". Maybe you
want to have a look at it?
Ciao
